Moth Record Cleaning Machine MKII & MKII Pro

The MKII Moth Record Cleaning
machine is based upon the well proven and accepted record cleaner that
has been available from Moth for a number of years. The MKII version of
the machine allows for bi-directional operation of the turntable in
both the fluid application 'Wash' cycle and in the vacuum 'Drying'
phase. The vacuum tube has been modified to allow for the new two way
movement and to offer a more efficient vacuum system. A full size dark
acrylic lid is fitted to the MKII Moth Record Cleaning machine. A
version of the Moth RCM MKII will be made available in the very popular
Kit form, complete in all parts with the exception of the enclosure.
Plans are provided for the construction of the housing from 15mm
plastic laminated construction board. The Moth Record Cleaning machine
will continue to be made available in its original form in both built
and in Kit versions. Upgrade kits are available to allow earlier
versions of the Moth RCM to be modified to MKII specification.

We at Moth are vinyl
enthusiasts and have been importing specialist recordings and Hi-Fi
equipment from around the world for some ten years.
As much as we love the LP format we know from experience that it is not
without its problems: it was clicks, pops, hiss and static etc. that
led us to investigate imported record cleaning machines for our own
collections and professional use. The results were stunning. At last
the LP format reached it's full potential, freeing itself from the
unseen restraints of mould release agents and general grime. Keen to
share our success we quickly became the UK's biggest supplier and
authority on record cleaning machines. Our striving to improve the
specification of other manufacturers designs and lower retail costs of
imported products led us to design a machine of our own from the ground
up.

The Moth Record Cleaning
machine is a wet cleaning/Vacuum removal device with powered turntable
and drainable internal reservoir. Fluid is applied by hand to a
rotating record, scrubbed, and drawn off by a high efficiency vacuum
system into a drainable reservoir. The unit is housed in a 16swg. Steel
enclosure and finished off by a high quality injection moulded smoked
lid. The machine has been designed to be rugged enough for both the
professional cleaning service and the domestic private user.
Collections of 1000+ records by enthusiasts are common, and the
purchase of second hand records in large batches is increasing, as new
records become less obtainable.

Record cleaning machines have
long been accepted as the most efficient way of cleaning and renovating
vinyl LP's singles and 78's and few companies can claim to have a
greater knowledge of them than MOTH!

"With LPs getting rarer, many vinyl enthusiasts
want to keep their collections in pristine condition. The Moth RCM,
used properly, will make your best discs sound better, and salvage
quite a few noisy LPs that would have been unplayable without
treatment. Your stylus cartridge will last longer too."

Audiophile Magazine

"Being a keen secondhand record collector I will
be reluctant to give back the Moth RCM and can heartily recommend it to
fellow enthusiasts."

Hi-Fi Choice Magazine

"Before I begin this review I think it important
to make a few things plain about this machine.

1. IF you have lots (say 500+) of records.
2. IF you ever buy second hand records.
3. IF your house has any dust at all ?

YOU MUST BUY THIS MACHINE...

Wow! - What a statement, and one I doubt if I'll
ever make again. I suppose I'd better justify this otherwise my
credibility, as TNT's cheapskate, will go out of the window...
Firstly this machine is, as far as I know, unique in that it is
available as a kit for around 200 pounds sterling or ready made for 400
pounds. To put that in perspective, as if I needed to, that's the cost
of a decent second hand LP12/Ittok or 400 records from a car boot
sale."
